Three fund ideas for 2026

Every year, Fidelity’s Investment Director, Tom Stevenson, shares a handful of funds he’s investing in for the year ahead.

Important information - investment values can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. Any investment views expressed may no longer be current. SIPP/ISA eligibility and tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules may change. You cannot normally access money in a pension until age 55 (57 from 2028). Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Please note that Tom’s picks are not a personal recommendation for you. If you're not sure which investments are suitable for you, consult Fidelity's advisers or another authorised financial adviser.

The hand-picked trio for this year includes one of last year’s recommendations, an old favourite, and an emerging markets fund that aims to uncover hidden value in fast-growing economies.

Watch Tom's chat with Ed Monk, host of the Personal Investor podcast, to find out why he's chosen them.

Important information - For Tom’s picks, please read the fund providers' Key Investor Information Document (KIID/KID) for full details of the features and risks of each fund.
